Hey Amy, did you hear about Intel? They made a huge mistake with AI!
Yes, I read about it. Intel had a chance to invest in a company called OpenAI, but they didn't. Now that decision looks really bad.
OpenAI? Isn't that the company that made ChatGPT? Why didn't Intel want to invest in them?
Well, back then, OpenAI was just starting. Intel didn't think AI would make money quickly, so they said no to the deal.
Oh, I see. But now AI is everywhere! So Intel made a big mistake, right?
Exactly. It's like if someone offered you a magic seed, but you said no because you wanted a flower right away.
That makes sense. So what happened to OpenAI after Intel said no?
OpenAI grew really big. Now it's worth about $80 billion! That's more money than some countries have.
Wow, that's a lot of money! Is Intel sad they missed out?
I think they are. Intel used to be the biggest name in computer chips. Now they're having trouble keeping up with other companies in AI.
That's too bad. Can't they just start making AI stuff now?
They're trying, but it's not easy. It's like joining a race when everyone else has already been running for a while.
I get it. So what's Intel doing now to catch up?
They're working on new AI chips, but it's tough. Other companies like Nvidia are doing really well with AI chips already.
It sounds like Intel made a big mistake. Is there a lesson we can learn from this?
Definitely! The big lesson is that sometimes it's worth taking a chance on new ideas, even if they don't seem useful right away.
That's smart. I guess even big companies can make mistakes if they don't look to the future.
Exactly! In the tech world, things change fast. Companies need to be ready for what's coming next, not just what's happening now.
